Report: Bucks, Hawks discussing Jennings-Teague trade

The Atlanta Hawks and Milwaukee Bucks are both having trouble re-signing their starting point guards, so the teams are discussing swapping ball handlers, according to ESPN. Both the Bucks' Brandon Jennings and the Hawks' Jeff Teague are restricted free agents up for rookie extensions.

Sources briefed on the situation told ESPN.com that the Hawks and Bucks have in recent days discussed a sign-and-trade deal to land Brandon Jennings in Atlanta and send fellow restricted free agent Jeff Teague to Milwaukee to reunite with former Hawks coach Larry Drew. ESPN.com reported early in free agency that the Bucks, at Drew's behest, had interest.

If those sign-and-talks progress to the serious stage, sources said, Atlanta would inevitably have to rescind its longstanding interest in Ellis, knowing he and Jennings realistically couldn't play together again given how poorly they functioned as a backcourt duo in Milwaukee last season.
